It supports dual SIM and 4G LTE connectivity. It also boasts of an 8MP main camera with f/2.0 aperture, autofocus and LED flash with a 2MP selfie camera. Beauty mode, time-lapse and Panorama are other features of the camera which provide better photos with clear and sharp details.

Battery life of a smartphone is one of the most important parameters to consider these days when buying a smartphone. The Huawei Y3 2017 may not be a powerful machine but it packs a decent 2200mAh battery coupled with an Ultra Power Saving Mode which automatically gives a reminder on low battery.

As of this moment, the pricing and availability details of the Huawei Y3 2017 are yet to be released. But considering its specifications, it is expected that this handset will be a low-budget smartphone said to be pegged at around $58.
